As I have an ample supply remaining from prior use, i would like to use in the house for fleas. How would it be best applied and is it effective?

I use this in and outside my home, I have a 1 gallon sprayer which works well for large areas, I do use a small hand held sprayer for touch ups inside. Chris

Suspend SC is not the best choice for indoor flea control because you can not broadcast spray it over carpeted areas. I recommend using Ultracide for indoor fleas. Ultracide is a very effective flea control aerosol that provides immediate kill of adult fleas and prevents formation of new adults from eggs or larvae. http://www.amazon.com/Ultracide-flea-Tick-Professional-Control-Product/dp/B002QS0WDO Ultracide spray is very effective at killing fleas and their eggs. Also use a flea powder on carpets to kill multiple stages of larvae growth... http://www.amazon.com/NaturVet-Flea-Carpet-Crystals-lbs/dp/B003FVWCFM/ref=sr_1_21?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1372616547&sr=1-21 this combination will rid you of fleas completely in about 3 days.

I powder my animals with it. It's edible so it won't hurt them. I also powder my floors and furniture (if the infestation is really bad) using a flour sifter. I let it sit a bit then vacuum it up. Do this every few days or so (especially powder on the animals) until the fleas appear to be gone. The key is to be sure any newly hatching fleas get caught in the powder.

it depends on how you are using it : For Use for Dogs and Cats: Shake well before each use. To kill fleas, ticks and lice, thoroughly mix 1/2 oz (1 tablespoon) of dip with 1 gallon of warm water. For outdoor animals in areas of severe infestations, 2 oz (4 tablespoons) per gallon may be used. Make fresh solution daily. If animal's coat is very dirty, bathe first with an Adams shampoo. Dip should be applied to dry or damp (not wet) coat. Sponge or dip animal with diluted dip making sure all areas are soaked to the skin. Let dip dry on animal. Do not rinse off! Repeat treatment every 7 days if necessary. - it depends on how you are using it : For Use for Dogs and Cats: Shake well before each use.

I don't think it contains that. It works by dehydrating the fleas and larvae. I used it on all of our carpets, the infestation was pretty bad. I spread it out and covered all I could. I think I actually used a bit less that the recommended coverage. Make sure you do what they suggest as I used a stiff push broom and work it into the carpets. You should not see any powder on the carpet surface after that. We waited about a week and then vacuumed. If the carpet gets wet, you will need to retreat that area. It is a bit of a workout but it is worth it. All of the fleas are gone. Worked great. I don't think it contains that. It works by dehydrating the fleas and larvae.

I don't know because I also use the topical flea medicine, but when I don't use the topical flea stuff every month as recommended, I have noticed that it helps in keeping the fleas off. I ran out a couple of weeks ago and I'm waiting for my new bigger bottle. Should be here this week. The weather is cooler so thank heaven the fleas aren't as bad. But I do like the product alot. I hope I have helped.

I really don't know. I used it in the Adirondack's so I know it's very effective for mosquito's and a variety of flies. I don't believe I was around fleas.

I would call The company on that. Ill say if you have fleas in your house on the carpet you should dust or with a layer of salt and leave it for like 2 days it will naturally dry them out and it will vaccum up later. I would do this while you treat the cat since that tends to be how they stay in the house. I'm not a fan of over doing chemicals.

I think it does an excellent job on house fleas. I tracked fleas from my deck before I observed that neighbors' dogs and cats used my deck more than I did.

Killing fleas is a lot more than just spraying. Look it up Google. U are using the right stuff

I think so. It works miracles on even bed bug infestations, and gets rid of roaches totally. Fleas jump so it may be a little harder to control, I would sprinkle it liberally on your carpets, rub it in and vacuum up the excess. Also rub it on box springs and mattresses under the sheets.

It will not be effective without the trap. The trap uses light to attract the fleas which then get stuck on the sticky pad. I was amazed at how many fleas I caught. I thought that I was done with my flea problem and was just going to use the trap as a preventative measure. I discovered that I still had plenty of fleas after using the trap.

This one is for medicinal purposes mainly. You may want to visit your local hardware store for flea killer.

It works great except if you already have fleas it takes a couple (or three) applications. Of course I get eaten so I also get impatient. It isn't immediate. Once yhey are all dead it does seem to work for 3 months. It does leave a residue on the carpet so I end up cleaning them at least twice a year. If you are in an appartment you may not have to clean them as often. This is the only product that has really worked for me.

I didn't have problems with flea eggs so I couldn't tell if the product was effective for treating them. I used it mostly for spiders and other small insects. I recently had termite inspection done in my house. I was told my house was clean of insects (except for some termite problems).

I would recommend NOT putting it on your bed sheets, as your face will be on or very near the poison. Saying that, I sprayed EVERYTHING else--couch, dining room chairs, wood floor, area rugs. I had the problem with fleas in the bed too but once I sprayed the rest of the house, I no longer had fleas in the bed. The poison killed all the fleas. The pets should be out of the room until the spray dries--I'd give it about an hour. You yourself do not need to leave. I think it's just because the pets are closer to the floor where the toxins are being sprayed & they get it on their paws, which they may then lick.

Yes. I actually purchased it originally to use when I lived in Hawaii, where the fleas had developed immunity to the poisons usually used to control them. The only thing that kept our property - indoors and out - under control was Precor. I will continue to use it outdoors when appropriate, though do consider what other insects you might be affecting in the area you're treating. If you want butterflies, for instance, don't treat near the garden that feeds them!
